ABSTRACT:
The assembly of two parts, one of which is fixed and the other of which is removable, includes automatic locking and unlocking elements for securing the removable part to the fixed part. The unlocking elements are mounted on the removable part and are integrated inside it. The removable part has a male end adapted to be received in a complementary female end of the fixed part, snap-fastening against a resilient stop latch inside said female end. The male end is secured to a longitudinal spindle extending inside the removable part and terminated by a handle for manual actuation, thus enabling the male end to be turned in order to unlock the assembly of the two parts. The male end is returned automatically to its locking position by a return spring.
